This is a sun-tracking, solar energy concentrator. It's so sensitive to light that at night, it can even harvest moonlight and convert it into electricity.
The sphere is 35% more efficie
nt than traditional photovoltaic designs!
Barcelona designer and architect André Broessel's ß.torics (Beta Torics) spherical lens solar generator uses a large water-filled glass ball to concentrate the sun's energy (by up to 10,000 times!) onto a small PV panel. His design also integrates a fully rotational tracking system to optimize the solar energy gain throughout the day, and is said to be able to be mounted on or in walls for use with either PV panels or solar thermal applications.
